PRESBYOND: Laser Eye Surgery for Presbyopia
From around the age of 40, our vision naturally begins to change. The lens loses flexibility, and it often feels as if your arms are too short. PRESBYOND offers a modern solution to this problem. This innovative laser eye technology is specifically designed to treat presbyopia and enables clear vision at both near and far distances – without glasses and with a new sense of freedom.
EuroEyes is known from press & media worldwide.
What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia, also known as age-related farsightedness, is a natural change in vision that usually occurs from the age of 40 onwards. The lens of the eye loses its elasticity, making it harder to focus on nearby objects. Reading and close-up work become more tiring, and small details appear blurred. PRESBYOND offers a modern, long-lasting solution to this problem.

What makes this laser eye method special?
PRESBYOND is an innovative advancement of the proven LASIK technology. It takes into account the natural interaction between both eyes and specifically expands the individual depth of focus. The result is a harmonious and natural visual experience at both near and far distances – without glasses or contact lenses, and with a new sense of freedom.
Is PRESBYOND right for me?
PRESBYOND is suitable for people aged around 40 and above who suffer from presbyopia and wish to live without glasses. The method is also possible in cases of existing short-sightedness or long-sightedness. Whether PRESBYOND is right for you will be determined through a detailed eye analysis.

How does PRESBYOND work?
With PRESBYOND, the cornea is individually adjusted using a precise excimer laser. This expands the depth of focus of both eyes, allowing sharp vision at near, far, and intermediate distances. The treatment is painless, takes only a few minutes, and provides clear, stable vision in a short amount of time.

What is PRESBYOND?
PRESBYOND is a laser eye procedure (Laser Blended Vision) developed by Zeiss. It combines laser eye surgery with monovision and thus provides a way to improve presbyopia. The Femto-LASIK method is used, with one eye corrected for distance vision and the other for near vision.
What are the advantages of PRESBYOND?
PRESBYOND offers people with presbyopia the option of laser treatment. The procedure is individually tailored, has a short recovery time and high patient satisfaction. Afterwards, you are no longer dependent on visual aids such as contact lenses or glasses.
PRESBYOND or refractive lens exchange?
PRESBYOND and refractive lens exchange are both options for correcting presbyopia. While PRESBYOND is a laser eye treatment that corrects the cornea, refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens of the eye with an artificial lens.
How long does PRESBYOND last?
PRESBYOND improves presbyopia and lasts between two and five years. Due to changes in refractive errors, the natural ageing process of the eyes or additional conditions such as cataracts, another treatment may still be necessary to restore vision.
When is PRESBYOND not possible?
A PRESBYOND treatment may be excluded under the following circumstances: medical contraindications, corneal diseases, eye conditions such as cataract or glaucoma, extremely high refractive errors, or unstable vision.
How much does PRESBYOND cost?
A PRESBYOND treatment at EuroEyes costs CHF 3,290 per eye. The treatment can be paid in individual monthly instalments. PRESBYOND is an alternative to refractive lens exchange and, in addition to correcting astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia, also improves presbyopia.
How long does recovery take after PRESBYOND?
The treatment is characterised by a short recovery period. As with any medical procedure, blurred vision, burning or dry eyes, a foreign-body sensation and increased light sensitivity may occur in the first few hours. Our team will inform you about this in detail.
At which locations is PRESBYOND offered?
PRESBYOND is currently offered by EuroEyes only in Zurich.
